Profile: Pagan doesn’t walk a ton (7.2% career), and his power is below average (.135 career ISO), but focusing too long on those aspects ignores the parts of the game at which Pagan excels. By using his wheels (7.2 career speed score) and avoiding the strikeout (16.8% last year), he is able to put up nice batting averages (.285 career) and stolen-base totals (37 last year). His excellent defense makes him the center fielder of the near future for the Mets, and especially in leagues that break out the CF designation, he's a sneaky play despite some injury risk. In leagues that only designate "outfielders," he doesn't quite have the power to be worth an early pick, but the wheels still make him a great late play for speed and batting average alone. Just remember that he is already 29 -- it took him a while to grab an everyday job -- so don't faith-cast him for much more power in the future. (Eno Sarris)

The Quick Opinion: Injury issues have dogged this Angel in the outfield, but he had quite the Pagan feast in 2010, showing enough power to make his speed and defense package work well.

Profile: Pagan failed to build on his 2010 breakout, but looks like a solid bounce-back candidate going forward. While Pagan's overall line dipped to .262/.322/.372, his peripherals moved in the right direction. Pagan managed to increase his walk rate from 7.0% to 8.3% while cutting his strikeout rate from 15.3% to 11.7%. He even managed to steal 32 bases in 532 plate appearances. The real culprit behind his struggles appears to be luck dragons, as his batting average on balls in play was just .285 last season. If he can get that number closer to his .314 career number, Pagan is a decent bet to return to form. (Chris Cwik)

The Quick Opinion: Pagan's struggles last season can be linked to injuries and poor luck. He's a decent bet to rebound in 2012, and should continue to be a nice source of steals.

Profile: Pagan returned to his 2009-2010 form in 2012, after an injury-plagued
and offensively-challenged season in between. He hit for average, showed
gap-to-gap power, and ran with good speed and smarts on the base paths.
His overall line was .288/.338/.440 in 154 games, the most games he's
ever played in one season. But after raising his walk rate to 8.3% in
2011, Pagan saw that fall back to 7.3% in 2012. At the same time, his
strikeout rate spiked from 11.7% to 14.7%, a troubling trend. His 29
stolen bases was a significant drop-off from the 32 he stole in 2011, in
127 fewer plate appearances. Pagan succeeded in large part due to a
.329 batting average on balls in play, a marked improvement over the .285 BABIP he produced in
2011, and nearly the same as the .331 he posted in 2010. If his BABIP
falls back to earth again, watch out. (Wendy Thurm/@hangingsliders)

The Quick Opinion: The Giants believe Pagan is at the peak of his career; the question is
whether you should believe that, too. Pagan saw his power return after a lackluster 2011 campaign, and
with it came 15 triples, his career high. But be careful: Pagan's walk
rate dropped and his strikeout rate rose in 2012. Pagan also turns 32 next
July, so there are big questions about whether he's peaked, or is just a
late bloomer.

Profile: A severe hamstring injury derailed Pagan's 2013 season. After stealing 98 bases from 2010-2012, he swiped just nine last season and played in only 71 contests. When healthy, his other skills were very much in line with what he did the previous season. That said, his fantasy value is in his ability to score runs, steal bases, and hit for average. He was able to do just one of those three things last season. Pagan's age, and the fact that he is one season removed from a major leg injury, puts his ability to be a productive fantasy player in doubt. (Jason Collette)

The Quick Opinion: Pagan's age, and the fact that he is one season removed from a major leg injury, puts his ability to be a productive fantasy player in doubt. He has stable skills, but he enters 2014 as a fantasy risk rather than a fantasy target.

Profile: A hamstring injury and a herniated disc have limited Pagan in the last two seasons, and with him entering his age 33 season, it's hard to envision him approaching 600 plate appearances again. But he is atop the center field depth chart for the Giants, so he will have the opportunity to top 500 PA if he can stay healthy. When healthy the last two seasons, Pagan has maintained his good plate discipline and ability to hit line drives, so he can still contribute in the batting average department. Unfortunately he has not run as much or as well as he used to, and won't steal more than 15-20 steals even if he gets to the plate enough. Combined with a decent run total, Pagan can be a decent three-category contributor when in the lineup. That makes him worth a look in deeper mixers and NL-only leagues. (Brett Talley)

The Quick Opinion: Injuries have limited Pagan the last two years, but he can still hit for average and run a bit when he's in the lineup. At the age of 33, Pagan may just be a bit more injury prone at this point, and he'll probably never steal 30 again. But he has value in deeper mixers and NL-only leagues.

Profile: Angel Pagan turned in the most at bats in 2015 that we've seen in three years, but the results weren't much for fantasy owners to get excited about. The man with perhaps the most ironic name ever was once known as a top of the order run-scoring threat who could rack up 30-plus steals. He's still likely to be at the top of the order, but knee injuries have sapped his base-stealing ways, as he merely swiped a dozen bags. As an outfielder with zero power, the only thing you might eek out of him is a decent average and plus runs, and that's certainly no guarantee either given his more recent results. Pagan is a very deep league option, but most of you can cross him off your draft list. (Michael Barr)

The Quick Opinion: If Angel Pagan could reclaim his base-stealing abilities, he might have some fantasy use, but his recent results and balky joints suggest that's unlikely.
